Connect What fuels your passion for health and fitness?

Growing up I was never in shape, but like many teens I had aspirations of being one of those people who had abs and looked good. So I started by doing simple at home workouts, and eventually got a gym membership and I fell in love with it, each and everytime I stepped foot in the gym it seemed like all my worries went away and it was just me and the weights. It slowly transformed from a hobby into who I am. Health and fitness was no longer a hobby but rather a lifestyle.

What’s your favorite way to train or stay fit?

I enjoy lifting weights, striving to achieve new goals, whether it be more weight, more reps, or during a cut that new vein that I’ve never seen. Since I’ve began my weight loss journey I’ve always found the incline treadmill and just walking to be such a great way to get steps, especially being a college student I can’t say I’m super active some days sitting in a classroom so something simple like a step count kept me accountable and helped a ton.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would give it to my parents, they deserve it, they made me who I am. I know they wouldn’t want to take it and would tell me to save it to buy a home or something, but I couldn’t do that, they are the hardest working people I’ve ever met and maybe if I can’t convince them to take it I’ll help them out by paying for part of my siblings college tuition, I want to help my family out first and foremost they are the reason I’m where I’m at today.
